More about Fred

  • 15 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC, LPCC

You are endowed with the power and energy to overcome any obstacle in life but sometimes when overwhelmed with life's challenges, you lose contact with your own power. I can help you regain balance in life and regain forward momentum to living the life you are destined to live. I am particularly interested in working with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, those who are walking through loss, those who are struggling with PTSD or other trauma-related issues, and those struggling with addictions and/or substance abuse.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Fred is a great counselor. He provides great insight with the problems you're experiencing and is very easy to open up to. He provides a bit of humor to shine light on situations in his sessions, which might not be for everyone, and that makes me very comfortable when discussing certain topics with him. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a male therapist.

Have only been speaking with Fred for a couple of weeks now but it's been fantastic. He is kind, attentive, and wise and just what I was looking for from a counselor. He gives me new perspectives but also allows me to be myself and encourages me at my current stage of growth. Highly recommend working with Fred!
